Solar PV panels provide a boost to peak power


Expanding its SolarTile range, Marley has introduced


the SolarTile 410, a new 410Wp solar panel. This panel offers a higher peak power output compared to the existing 335Wp option, allowing for fewer panels to achieve the desired energy output. The SolarTile 410 is


designed to integrate seamlessly with Marley’s existing concrete and clay tiles, featuring a low-profile design. It is compatible with various batten thicknesses and includes colour-coded flashing kits for ease of installation. The panel boasts ‘exceptional’ fire performance, wind resistance and weather tightness, making it suitable for both new build and retrofit projects. Stuart Nicholson, roof systems director at Marley, comments: “Since


launching with 270Wp and 310Wp solar panels in 2021, Marley has continued to focus on pushing for enhanced solar panel efficiency. Alongside the current 335Wp panel, the new SolarTile 410Wp panel widens specification choice for the market. The SolarTile range integrates with our full roof system, meaning specifiers can also benefit from the reassurance of Marley’s 15-year warranty.” ◼ phamnews.co.uk/924/36

Performance in the cold


The new Aquarea M Series range of air source heat pumps from Panasonic feature T-CAP technology for enhanced efficiency and low-GWP R290 refrigerant. Units in the range are available in capacities ranging from 9 to 30kW, with the option of 300kW in cascade configuration. It is designed for individual domestic homes, multifamily or light commercial buildings. The T-CAP technology enables the unit to operate efficiently in outdoor


temperatures as low as -15°C without a backup heater. One T-CAP unit can provide the same capacity at low temperatures as two other units without T-CAP technology, reducing material and installation costs and saving space. The Series offers flexibility with options for remote control only or a


control module for enhanced functionality. The Big Aquarea includes Wi-Fi connectivity for Aquarea Smart Cloud and Aquarea Service Cloud, multiple PCB features, demand control SG Ready, and cascade control with BMS protocol options. Designed for faster and easier installation, the heat pump benefits from


a space-saving design. It is said to deliver exceptional performance with minimal noise, ensuring maximum comfort. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/924/38
